Back in the day when I was pumping gas into corporate jets, Jack Nicklaus came in for a visit. I had the pilots ask him before departure if I could get an autograph.
Later, Jack invited me onto his G4, introduced himself and asked who I wanted the picture made out to. I told him my dad since it was his b-day the following week and he loves golf! Jack gladly signed a picture and wrote "happy birthday" to my dad...what a nice guy!!!

I flew jimmy buffets family out to his boat (208RG) his plane "strang bird", it had a parrot riding a surfboard on the tail. Met Jimmy, not impressed.

I used to run into hime every once in a while at PBI customs. He seemed pretty arrogant. Some of the customs agents would just about sh!t their pants with excitement when he came through. I guess that would be the high point of the day when working PBI customs.

Met a guy in the FBO at CLE, he was one of the Cleveland Indians who had just gotten traded to another team that day and was flying out to play in a game the next day. I can't remember his name, but I do remember that he was all over the news the next day for getting into a fight during the game.
